00:00Ringo Starr just seemed to confirm the rumors that Barry Keoghan will play him on the big screen.
00:06Filmmaker Sam Mendes is planning to direct four Beatles biopics, each dedicated to a band member,
00:12John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Starr. All of the movies will be released
00:16separately in theaters by Sony Pictures. When Starr was asked what he thinks about Keoghan's
00:21rumored casting, the legendary drummer told Entertainment Tonight this.
00:25Well, I think it's great, and I believe he's somewhere taking drum lessons.
00:30Oh, really?
00:30And I hope not too many.
00:32While several stars have been rumored to be circling the Splashy Beatles project,
00:36no deals have been made with any of the cast. Sony had no comment.
00:40Whether or not he ends up being cast as Ringo Starr, it's clear that Keoghan's star continues to rise.
00:45After landing an Oscar nomination for The Banshees of Ine Sheeran and finding widespread acclaim for
00:50his role in Saltburn, Keoghan's upcoming calendar includes the Netflix Peaky Blinders film.
